In order to give the traditional foosball table a fun and feminine take, French designer Chloe Ruchon created the 'Barbie Foot.' This cute rendition of the classic game replaces the generic armless men with Barbies -- complete with flowing hair and uniform.
The table was given a pink makeover and an uber-feminine touch for the hardcore Barbie collectors out there. The main purpose of the 'Barbie Foot' is to change the reality of the common foosball table, that only men with beer usually played. This changes the notion of that tradition and gives the entire concept a fun rendition.
